Hi folks,
Does someone know how long the string length for the order tag is allowed to be? Also, are there any limitations on what data can be added to that string? I am thinking about placing some serialized json data into the tag to simulate some persistence information since there is no way to maintain state between restarts of the algo.
Cheers,
Mitch

Hi Mitch,
Don't know for sure how flexible tags are, but I would be hesitant on relying on them to store anything even mildly complex.
Regarding state persistence, you can achieve this with relative ease by using Download() to fetch an external file (e.g. a Dropbox .json file) into your algorithm at start-up. You would need something that saves the state at algorithm close and then simply paste this data into the external file in question.
Myself and others are using this currently in our live deployments with no issues.
